*Typical power measured at midband in MP1 mode with better than 1.2 VSWR. Compliant with NRSC measurement standards. Power outputs vary with injection level, frequency, VSWR,
MP operating mode, symmetrical vs. asymmetrical sidebands. Numbers shown do not include HD PowerBoost which can provide up to 25% additional hybrid mode power and up to 5%
increased efficiency. Efficiency shown at rated power. Please contact your Nautel representative to discuss your specific HD power requirement.
